Stumbling Stone Koning Albertstraat 92

This brass memorial plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), placed in the summer of 2023, commemorates:
* FRANS CAUDRON (born 1893, resistance fighter arrested 27-7-1944, murdered 5-12-1944 Mittelbau-Dora)

This Stolperstein lie here for a resistance fighter, persecuted, deported and/or murdered in World War II.

"Stolpersteine” is an art project for Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism).
Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the sidewalk in front of the last voluntary residence of (usually Jewish) victims of the Nazis. Each plaque is provided with the victim’s, date of birth, and fate. By doing this, Gunter Demnig gives an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He cites the Talmud: “A human being is forgotten only when his or her name is forgotten.”
